I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the winter weather potential for the week ahead, including the late week\/weekend storm system.<\/p>\n<p>Colder air is moving in from the west right now and will only grow colder over the next few days. A stray shower is possible on Monday as temps stay in the upper 30s and low 40s for many. Areas of light snow and snow showers are likely Tuesday into Wednesday, with light accumulations showing up.<\/p>\n<p>After a touch of rain and snow Thursday night, it&#8217;s full steam ahead toward a southern stream storm system. That rolls from west to east then tries to turn up the east coast. As we have talked about many times, the exact track is the determining factor on how much winter weather we get here in Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>The models will vary with the track from run to run and won&#8217;t settle in for a discernible trend for a few more days, so don&#8217;t take any one run to hear.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s fun to look at the Ensembles to see what they are saying.
